MyKey.
To create a MyKey:

transmitter into the backup slot. Details
on the slot's location are in another
chapter. See Starting a Gasoline
Engine (page 161).
2. Switch the ignition on.
3. Access the main menu using your left-hand-side steering wheel controls.
4. Depending on your display options, select either
Settings or Advanced
Settings, then MyKey and finally

You can program the configurable features
now or at any time. You can advance

then keeps all of the default settings.
When you finish programming your MyKey,

3. Scroll down through the choices, and then highlight the feature you want to
configure.
4. When you finish programming your MyKey, the Type 3 information display
adds a confirmation screen, New

.
Note: You can clear or change your MyKey
settings at any time during the same key
cycle as you created the MyKey. Once you
have switched the engine off, however, you
will need an admin key to change or clear
your MyKey settings.
CLEARING ALL MYKEYS
You can clear all MyKeys within the same
key cycle as you created the MyKey. If you
switch your ignition off, however, you will
need to use an admin key to clear your
MyKeys.
Note: When you clear your MyKeys, you
remove all restrictions and return all MyKeys
to their original admin key status at once.

power door lock control (with the door
open, vehicle in park and ignition off), your
vehicle will search for an intelligent access
key in the passenger compartment after
you close the door. If your vehicle finds a

feature and intentionally lock the
intelligent access key inside your vehicle,
you can lock your vehicle after all doors
are closed by using the keyless entry
keypad, pressing the lock button on
another intelligent access key or touching
the locking area on the handle with another
intelligent access key in your hand.
When you open one of the front doors and
lock your vehicle using the power door lock
control, all doors will lock then unlock if
the ignition is on.
Autolock and Autounlock (If Equipped)
The autolock feature locks all the doors
when your doors are closed, the ignition is
on, and your vehicle reaches a speed
greater than
12 mph (20 km/h).
When your doors autolock while driving,
stopping the vehicle then switching the
ignition off or to accessory and opening
the driver door unlocks all your doors. This
autounlock feature remains active for 10
minutes after stopping.
Note: The doors do not autounlock if you
have electronically locked them before
opening the driver door.

independently of each other using the
information display. An authorized dealer
can also help you enable or disable these
features. See General Information (page

Equipped)
The programmed entry codes will recall
driver memory positions as follows:
• Entry code one will recall driver 1
memory positions.
• Entry code two will recall driver 2
memory positions.
